This is quite possibly the oddest coincidence I have run into in quite some time.

I will follow your advice — though I will first use the products I have, which are also quite good, I’m sure. I do have the Power-Lock. Your willingness to take the time from a busy schedule to provide advice to amateurs like me gives me a very good feeling about the professionalism of those in the detailing business. We’ll see how I do — I like to work on my cars myself because that way I get to know all the foibles of the finish, and of course there’s the satisfaction of a job well done.

I’m glad to learn that the buffer I purchased is kind to amateurs. That is especially important since I am 73 and I don’t have quite the physical abilities I once had. I learned that when pitching baseballs to my Son a few years ago — couldn’t understand why my arm died so quickly!

I will look into having the chips airbrushed professionally. Then, I will consider the clear bra, just to keep that from happening again. I’ll let you know how I make out when the weather and time allow me to tackle the polishing job .

You’re very welcome! I have personally yet to try Menzerna Power Lock, but here’s what I gather:

Blackfire Wet Diamond and Menzerna Power Lock are very, very similar in looks and durability. But I have read, and been told, by a lot of Pro’s out there that it’s a bit easier to use than the Blackfire.

Jetseal 109 used to be my go-to sealant. Nothing, in terms of sealants, is easier to use than this (in my experiences). However, the look isn’t quite as good as the Blackfire (or Power Lock).

So I guess it’d be easy to say to go with Power Lock–as it gets the looks of Blackfire and the ease of use of Jetseal!
